Due to concerns about the stability of the road, Derbyshire County Council have today closed and fenced off the road along Bretton Edge (between Little Plumpton Cottage and The Barrel) where the road has been sinking in recent weeks.

The road is completely blocked and there is nowhere to turn around beyond the junction with Camphill Lane when travelling up from Great Hucklow or the top of Bradshaw Lane when travelling from Foolow.

The Parish Council currently have no further information about why the road is closed or how long the closure is expected to be in place. We will provide further updates as soon as we have more information.
